(1730) Evening all.

22.  Larry has second thoughts

21.  Oh ho ho!

20.  From the classical part of the world

Kassandra is a Dutch lady who lives in Athens and is Orthodox Christian but another aspect has been this PoMo thing which I’m not sure is the same definition I know it to be.

The N.O. position is that many perspectives are brought by our patrons and those close to patrons but outside the tavern, to be read or not read as the reader sees fit. IYE brings Miles Mathis, Ian brings Helena, Kassandra brings this:

… AKH brings “the philosophers”, inc. Spinoza, plus Microdave it seems … and so it goes on. If I draw the line somewhere, categorically, it’s with Wokery … that’s quite upfront.  It seems to be workable for now.

Just on the ancient middle-east and surrounds, there are all sorts of concepts tied in with, say mediaeval doings … one I know of is that there’s a huge difference between the King of Tyre and Prince of Tyre.  Those sorts of things are outside my normal range, I note in passing, having no personal view. You on the other hand might.

About the only thing I’m fairly certain of is that those Templars certainly found something but what that was is clouded in subterfuge and misdirection.

19.  A few more snippets

18.  Saw this just now

I don’t watch Rogan so I don’t know who the clown was with him there but he (that clown with Rogan) pulled a swift move for the devil … after the 60s commentator Paul Harvey made the predictions as “if I were the devil” and Rogan did his usual shock, awe, this other clown just casually threw in, quickly, “Well the devil’s whoever you disagree with,” or disagrees with you, whatever … 

Point was, he quickly depersonalised the devil into a non-sentient “thing” which is just what someone doesn’t like not a sentient intelligence.

That is precisely the point … his greatest success, the devil, is convincing people he does not exist. That is precisely what that clown dropped in, hoping it would just be taken as read and they could quickly move on. Rogan should have stopped him there and then. And didn’t.

In 1864 “Le Figaro” published the tale “Le Joueur Généreux” (“The Generous Gambler”) by Charles Baudelaire. The main character meets and converses with a manifestation of the Devil. 

Here is an excerpt in French:[ref] Date: February 7, 1864, Newspaper: Le Figaro, Story Collection: Le Spleen de Paris, Story: Le Joueur Généreux, Author: Charles Baudelaire, Start Page 4, Quote Page 5, Column 1, Newspaper Location: Paris, France.

Elle ne se plaignit en aucune façon de la mauvaise réputation dont elle jouit dans toutes les parties du monde, m’assura qu’elle était, elle-même, la personne la plus intéressée à la destruction de la superstition, et m’avoua qu’elle n’avait eu peur, relativement à son propre pouvoir, qu’une seule fois, c’était le jour où elle avait entendu un prédicateur, plus subtil que le reste du troupeau humain, s’écrier en chaire: « Mes chers frères, n’oubliez jamais, quand vous entendrez vanter le progrès des lumières, que la plus belle des ruses du Diable est de vous persuader qu’il n’existe pas! »
